The choice today was to either go to Sacred Reich in Zwolle or Possessed in Rotterdam. I chose to go to Possessed as I had seen Sacred Reich a few times before, but hadn’t seen Possessed nor the support act Acrostichon. Acrostichon is one of those Dutch death metal gems from the early 90s that […]

Into The Grave Festival 11 August 2012
I think it hasn’t been since Wâldrock 1994 that I went to an open air festival. But this second edition of Into the Grave was interesting enough to go back again to my former home town Leeuwarden. And it was held actually down-town on a former graveyard (hence the name) next to the leaning […]
Gorguts @ Little Devil, Tilburg 12 August 2012
The day after “Into the Grave” another excellent band played on the other side of the country on this sunny Sunday afternoon . So logistically a bit of a challenge, but anyway, I travelled to Tilburg the next day. Gorguts was just arriving at the same time, so everything was running a bit late. Never […]
Immolation And Krisiun @ 013 Tilburg, 16 August 2012
This is the third gig I went to in 5 days. After Into the Grave and Gorguts it was now time to see Immolation who were touring for a couple of festivals, and Krisiun. No less than three bands were brought as support, as part of Immolation’s tour. Due to the crazy starting time – […]
Immolation and Marduk @ Baroeg, 4 October 2012
It was only a few months ago, since I saw Immolation in Tilburg. Now in the autumn they are touring extensively again, with Marduk and a bunch of support groups. Reason enough to go to the Baroeg again. I missed the first opening act entirely, due to the early hour it al started. I don’t […]
Dutch Doom Day XI – Baroeg, 20/21 October 2012
Already the 11th edition of this doom metal festival, held in the Baroeg. I’ve been to most editions over the years, and this year was interesting enough to go to both days again to see 12 doom metal bands. The opening band was the Belgian Tyrant’s Kall who play generally rather simple doom death metal. […]
Primordial @ Baroeg, 28 October 2012
Primordial is doing a small number of club gigs this year and one of them were in Rotterdam. They didn’t bring any supports, so there were a few Dutch bands opening. First there was Skaldgrim who were said to play melodic death metal. This must be one of the most boring death metal bands ever […]
Kreator and Morbid Angel @ Effenaar 4 November 2012
Kreator set to tour Europe again after the release of their new album “Phantom Antichrist”. So on this Sunday afternoon I travelled to Eindhoven to the Effenaar – a venue I hadn’t been before – to hear how that album works out live. After a bit of a detour through Eindhoven I found a parking […]
Officium Triste @ Baroeg, 23 November 2012
On this Friday, four doom metal bands were playing in the Baroeg. The first band that played was Marche Funebre from Belgium. I hadn’t really heard them apart from some youtube uploads. That didn’t really impress me, especially the clean vocals were pretty bad and didn’t fit the music. Well that is pretty much what […]
Obituary @ Burgerweeshuis, Deventer, 25 November 2012
The second gig I went to in one weekend. This time mostly old school death metal. But first some modern metal in the form of The Amenta who had just started playing when I entered the venue. This Australian band plays a blackish death metal with industrial influences. I didn’t know them beforehand, but they […]
